March 24, 26: AAAF-Chicago Events for April 9 Municipal Election

One of our goals is to identify qualified Democratic candidates, to provide them with financial and technical assistance, and to build a local network of activists, funders, and supporters. Please join us and support Asian Americans running for offices on April 4.

Skokie is a great community for Asian Americans and immigrants – diverse & inclusive. Asian Americans are already engaged in the community through various civic activities, including the Skokie Festival of Cultures. There are two Asian Americans are elected officials in Skokie: Trustee Pramod Shah and Park District Commissioner Jerry Clarito.

On April 4, Pramod Shah is running for Clerk as a slated candidate of the Skokie Caucus Party. Support Pramod and Skokie Caucus Party to get the Asian Americans out to vote! Every vote COUNTS so let’s engage our people.

Turnout is traditionally very low in municipal elections. Only 16% (4,800) to 22% (6,600) of registered voters voted in the past few Municipal election cycles in Skokie.

According to the 2010 Census, there are at least 2 precincts in Skokie with Asian American population of over 35%.

We hope to see you at our events! Network and do good for our community.
